This tournament is the second leg of the Korn Ferry Tour Finals series. The PGA rewards the top 20 players with regular tour cards for next year after four events, ending with the Korn Ferry Tour Championship (total prize money: $1.5 million). The Korn Ferry Tour now has two tournaments remaining: the Compliance Solutions Championship (October 1–4) and the Korn Ferry Tour Championship (October 8–11).

Noh started the round in third place, three shots off the lead. He made a bogey on the 2nd hole (par 4), which he recovered with a birdie on the 4th hole (par 5). His birdie on the 12th hole (par 5) was offset by a bogey on the 13th (par 3). He made par on the remaining five holes. His green in regulation rate was 83.33%, but his average putts per hole was 1.87, which left room for improvement.

Scotland’s Sand Scott surged to a dramatic victory by shooting a 6-under 65, finishing at 18-under-par 266. He is a second-year player who debuted on the Korn Ferry Tour last year. With this win, his Korn Ferry Tour points ranking soared to 2nd place. He received prize money of $270,000 (about 376 million won). John Marshall Butler (USA) finished 2nd (267 strokes), while Bayendt Botha (South Africa) shot a 10-under-par 61, soaring 30 spots up the leaderboard from the previous day to finish 3rd.
